Abstract
A problem detection system detects problems related with operation of a computer system, its hardware components, application programs, and databases. The problem detection system begins by gathering or discovering initial data from one or more of the hardware components, application programs, and databases. The problem detection system may then update this data over time. The problem detection system includes mechanism for discovering problems in the computer system. The problem detection system also includes mechanisms for reporting problems to a user of the computer system or to a system administrator. The problem detection system may report the problems to other components of the computer system, may store data related to the problems, and may present the problem information to the user through a separate display.
